( action; for keiichi (backdated to yesterday) )

[ Okay, so apparently nobody is entirely sure what happened to yesterday, but.. that only makes her feel worse about it. Regardless of whether they did or didn't celebrate Keiichi's birthday, it's still no fair if none of them can even remember it, right?

So have a knock on the door to your bedroom early in the morning, Keiichi. ]

( voice )

[ By the following day even Ange can realise something is.. well, slightly off. Aside from the fact that nobody seems to remember the 1st, there's also the fact that a lot of people are moving around and.. well, she has no clue what's going on. ]

Is this some sort of huge weird April Fool's joke tradition here in Luceti?

First off there's that day that nobody seems to remember, although those seem to at least be more common, and now there's also a lot of lost people or something like that? A lot of people moving around, at least.. [ sigh. ] Apparently spring fever really does exist if it affects so many of you, huh?

... Oh, Atsuro, Kouki, I'm coming over to check up on the two of you with all of this going on, okay? Let me join in for dinner or something like that too for once.

( action; everywhere )

[ After that message Ange will leave the house for the afternoon and go out into the village - although housemates are free to hit her up before she leaves, of course.

There's something slightly off about her though. For once she's not wearing the hairbobbles she usually always wears, and any sign of the Ushiromiya one-winged eagle on her clothes is gone as well - the band missing from her sleeve, the ring on her finger gone too. Aside from that, it does really mostly seem like it's Ange, though, if not just a little more social. Still not by a whole lot, though.

Feel free to encounter her anywhere in the village on her way to community building 7 where Atsuro and Kouki are staying, or in the community building itself. Eventually she'll definitely end up at the apartment though, knocking on the door. ]

[Minato bakes a cake on the 2nd, because he feels bad about missing Keiichi's birthday as well.

But he's also concerned with big things right now, like Loki's apparent departure from Luceti, people not remembering Leon lived in the house, and the pony living on the second floor. So, he likely won't notice Ange's subtle changes... immediately, anyway.

She'll eventually run into him somewhere in the house, though - it's hard not to, when the place isn't that big.]

[repudiate]

.. Minato.

[ Yup, she's bound to run into him, especially when.. well, the whole house seems a little weird now, doesn't it.. At least Minato's the way she remembers him for now? It doesn't hurt to check him up about that, at least. ]

Are you okay?

[emp3thy]

Hey, Ange.

[Nope, he's completely normal. It's everyone else that's weird. Right now, he's washing dishes like nothing is up, though.]

[repudiate]

[ It's almost comforting to see a scene that normal right now, really - so she can't help but let out a slight sigh of relief. ]

.. It's good to see something normal right now. [ You know, something that's.. not a pony.. or talking teacups on the journals. She twirls a lock of her hair around her finger, thinking. ]

[selfinteresting]

[Kyrie spots Ange leaving the house from the window of her own, and being an Ushiromiya, obviously that means she has to be nosy. ...Okay or as a mother she wants to offer help if she's doing errands. So she goes out, hurrying to catch up and calling after her.]

Hey, Ange!

action

[repudiate]

[ Hey, at least she seems cheerful enough to spot the other woman - after all, they're good friends! Yup, pretty close and all, that's how she remembers them meeting here in Luceti. So it's enough to even bring her close to a thin smile. ]

Ah, hey. Are you going out as well..?

[selfinteresting]

I wasn't planning to initially, but I thought I would see what you're up to.

[She smiles - BECAUSE SHE'S YOUR MOM UWOO]

OH MY GOD KELSEY I just lost my shit at that tag

[repudiate]

[ Because they're good friends, you mean! :D ]

I was just out to go see Atsuro and Kouki at their place.. [ saying it so casually, as if it's normal.. well, normally she does know Atsuro, she's just never been at his place before. ]

I mean, the whole village seems to be crazy the past few days, so I thought it might be for the best.

[death_awaits_you]

[ Hopefully Ange doesn't mind that at times hanging around her house is a cartoonish black pony with an extra pair of wings and a very familiar scarf. He'll answer to Ryoji, at least, since in his memory he totally asked Minato and Minako if he could have a cool Japanese name too, but he'll look a bit oddly at anyone besides them who calls him that.

Nonetheless, Mooncloth is definitely a very cheerful, friendly pony, and the first time he sees Ange since April 1st, he'll be sure to flutter his wings (all four of them) and give a happy greeting! ]

Good morning, Ange~!

[ Nope. No chan. This pony is not Japanese. ]

[repudiate]

[ ... There's a pony. In the house. A pony with a yellow scarf and.. -- Wait.

Blinking so hard. ]

Mochizuki-san, is that you? Did you go from sleepiness straight to.. this? [ What is happening. ]

[death_awaits_you]

[ A slight sigh. Mochizuki-san again... ]

You're picking up the nickname, too?

But straight to what? [ His ears twitch curiously! ]

[divinacommedia]

[walking.... walking.... he's just taking a stroll today again, as usual.

AND THEN HE SPOTS ANGE.

The redhead runs up to his sister and waves at her.] Hey, Ange! I-.... [he lowers his hand a bit, noticing that she's not wearing those hair accessories anymore.... but she always wore them- he gave them to her after all.]

New hairdo?

action;

[repudiate]

Huh? Ah, Battler.

[ She's smiling a little though when she sees him - they're really good friends after all, became that way in this place.. In fact, he was almost like an older brother to her, really.

Ange can't help but look a bit surprised when he mentions the last part, though. ]

New hairdo? .. Huh, is something wrong with my hair?

action;

[divinacommedia]

[....Battler? Just Battler? No 'onii-chan' ?! He blinks at that, and then rubs the back of his head, looking pretty confused.]

...W...well.... you don't have those... accessories you usually wear. You know, the ones I gave you when you were six.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

[...Huh? Who is this girl?] Sure thing?

[Voice]

[repudiate]

[ wow, rude, Kouki!! we went through so much together!! ]

... Huh? Why do you sound so unsure about it? Did something happen to you guys?

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

No. Nothing happened...as far as I know.

[Why do you speak as if they're friends?]

This is kinda a surprise to me.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

April Fools joke! YEAH! That must be it! Lupin always loved a good prank.

[voice]

[repudiate]

I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, they did all that freaky themed stuff for Halloween too..

And Lupin?

[voice]

[doubleppk]

An idiot who thinks he's somebody different now.

I guess the Malnosso do a lot of weird holiday themed things so no reason this wouldn't count.

[voice]

[proudprince]

April Fools...?

[voice]

[repudiate]

Yeah, April Fools. Don't you think it's a likely option for what's going on here?

[Action]

[breaks_destiny]

[One thing is clear, he doesn't have anything new in his bedroom so either there weren't any gifts or everyone just forgot... Or they all slept through the day or something like that because he doubts Minato and Ange would forget his birthday of all things.

But he has more important things to worry about, really. He can't find his uniform! He only has his civil clothes, and he could use that but still... Where is it? His first thought, not having checked on the rest of the house, is that Loki is playing a prank on him or something. Still, before jumping on the kid, he is rummaging through his room in search of it.

When the door is knocked he jumps at it, opening it quickly. Maybe the little devil has realized that joking with his uniform is a bad idea.]

Loki, you better not have done anything to it or I'll hang you!

[But it's not Loki. It's Ange. Is it now a good moment to mention that he's wearing nothing but his underwear? Because he is, but that's not the only surprise Ange is about to have.]

[Action]

[repudiate]

[ ... Ah. That moment when you walk in on your boyfriend wearing nothing but his underwear.. Yet it's her boyfriend, so looking away would be weird too, right?! What does one do in situations like this, why did nobody ever bother to tell Ange..

But okay, it's fine, she can put her tsundere and flusteredness aside now, just trying to force out her usual deadpan. ]

Sorry, I guess I'm not the culprit you're looking for.

[Action]

[breaks_destiny]

[At least he's a boxer user so Ange can try to think that they are just shorts? And you didn't exactly walk in, he just was his usual idiot self and forgot that his girlfriend and his best friend's sister also live here. At least he has the decency of getting all red in the face when he realizes it's her whom he's staring at.]

A-Ange!

[Though she's his girlfriend, it... It shouldn't be that bad if she sees him like this. Still it's not good either so he leaves the door open and goes to just grab some pants.]

Sorry, I can't find my uniform and I thought that it was Loki returning with it... Assuming he is the responsible, but it has to be someone from the house, after all.
